Tickling children is one of those customary kinds of play that is handed down from generation to generation through our families. It is rarely questioned, but deserves to be thought about more carefully, as it’s a form of play that can, despite good intentions, hurt a child. To put tickling in a broader framework, it’s one of the ways to play that puts people in touch with each other. It also is a dependable way to get lots of laughter rolling. So tickling looks, on the surface, like a kind of play that children enjoy, and that is good for them. And indeed, some children ask their parents for tickling games. We are glad to be asked—it feels great to have an instant way to laugh and be playful together.

But in my many years of listening to adults talk about the emotional challenges of their lives as children, tickling comes up again and again as an experience that has been hurtful. I’ve listened to a number of adults who can’t relax when others are in close proximity to them. They can’t sleep close to a trusted partner, for instance, or are internally on guard any time there’s more than casual touching between them and someone they love. When asked what they are afraid of, their memories go straight to times when they were tickled as children, and couldn’t get the tickler to stop.
The Foundations of Healthy Play I don’t think that most tickling in families is pursued to the level of abuse, but I do think that tickling can be replaced with healthier options. In healthy play, these ground rules are usually operating. These guidelines insure the fun.
They make play an intelligence-building activity. Each child is respected. Each child has a way to succeed. Each child’s contributions are acknowledged.
Each child knows she is safe from criticism and belittlement. Each child can say what she thinks and wants. Her ideas may not be workable, and limits may need to be set, but the thoughts are welcome as a worthy contribution. No child is coerced into a powerless or subservient role in the guise of play. An adult is present or nearby, to insure that the play stays safe and inclusive. To promote laughter, the adults in the situation play the less powerful role, leaving the role of “the swift, the strong, the smart and the informed” to the children.
Where Tickling Falls Short The main thing that makes tickling problematic is that children may not be able to say when they want it to stop. Laughter is an automatic response to being touched by a tickler—it’s not a response that the child can opt out of.
This puts the tickler in charge of how much or how long the child laughs. Most of us remember unpleasant or frightening times when we wanted a tickler to stop, but were laughing so hard we couldn’t say it, or worse, we said, “Stop!” or tried to escape, and the tickler continued. We adults don’t read children’s minds, but we often imagine that we can. So we usually think we’re aware of what’s too much tickling and when to stop. But it is possible to trap our children without knowing it. We Want to Play and Be Close Parents and children crave times together when there’s lots of free-flowing laughter and playful contact. It’s so good for us to play, so good for us to be in touch with each other.
We parents become attached to tickling because it seems to be a handy shortcut to laughter. We long to know that our children are happy and love us, and tickling becomes our shortcut to this reassurance. Rather than forcing laughter in this way, we can build our children’s confidence if we will get down on the floor and invite them to be in playful physical contact with us.
If we find ways to give them much of the power, our children will laugh and laugh. Games like “I have a hundred hugs for you!” or “Where’s Jared? I know he’s around here somewhere,” or “Oh, no!
I can’t get this horsy rider off my back!” let children laugh and laugh as we try to catch them, or try to find them, or try to bounce them off our backs, and fail over and over. It requires more creativity than tickling, but allows us to tumble around, to burrow our heads in their tummies for a second here and there, and to manage a cuddle before they make another daring escape. We get our affection across without trapping our children. And we give them a chance to be inventive as they figure out a hundred ways to outsmart us. For more on healthy play and how to do it, read.
But my child asks to be tickled When tickling has been one of the main options for being playfully close in a family, children will ask for it. Their need to be close and to feel your enjoyment beaming toward them is stronger than their fear of being trapped by tickling. So they want it. When his Mom began to play without tickling him, one four-year-old I know told her, “I didn’t really like it very much, but it was the only way you would play with me!” One way to transition from tickling to tussling and playful contact that allows the child to be in charge is to pretend to tickle when tickling is requested. Wiggle your fingers close to your child’s tummy or sides, and make your usual playful threats, but keep your hands an inch or two away from her body, letting her laugh and laugh without taking the chance of trapping her. If your child tickles you in return, you can playfully writhe and try to get away—she’s making you the victim in a role-reversal that lets her offload any tension she may feel about tickling. It’s not fair, but she gets to really tickle, and you don’t!
Other kinds of playful physical contact are great, if you offer your child the initiative Our children do need us to be affectionate with them, and to be playfully persistent with our affection at times. It’s one way to communicate that we’re in love with them. Blowing raspberries on your child’s tummy, nuzzling into her armpit, giving bucking bronco rides and nibbling fingers or toes are all affectionate moves that might bring a ticklish reaction.
These kinds of play are fine as long as you let the play “breathe” after each affectionate move. You kiss your child’s toes, and then let go and see what response she has.
If she gets up and runs away, you can lumber after her on hands and knees, trying for a long time before you finally kiss a toe again, with lots of laughter in the chase. Or you bury your head in her tummy, then pull back and grin as she decides what she wants to do. If she laughs and lies there, waiting, you can try it again. Children love us to come close, to play games and to be playful. We just need to keep giving them chances to guide the play, so we don’t become overbearing without knowing it. Thoughtfulness about play with our children doesn’t mean being extremely careful. It does mean putting in just a few guidelines that help us to balance the power between our children and ourselves while play proceeds.
When we phase out tickling, we’re able to phase in play that our children will invent, play that works better to expand their sense that we love and support them. Our gives you a new way to play and connect with your child.
Ever laid your eyes on something so great you had to buy a new pair just to level yourself back down to reality? Something so beautiful and fulfilling you were elevated above the stars and experienced true enlightenment? Witnessing eager hands gripping at bodily perfection as bursts of laughter fill the air. Cuddly bodies squirming about in a sensational beauty that’ll drop your jaw in seconds at the sight of something so magnificent. Soft giggles parting the clouded skies, while ponies patter their hooves in a pond pampered by lily pads and sunflowers. A sight more satisfying than watching a unicorn frolic across a rainbow. A sight, that we here at Honey’s Anime wouldn’t want to miss, and wouldn’t want you to miss either.
That’s why we bring to you our Top 10 Anime Tickle Scenes. With all the painful pleasure that comes with it. We are speechless. Kicking off this wonderful list of Top 10 Anime Tickle Scenes is of course, Kyou no Go no Ni, also known as Today in Class 5-2, the OVA.
Revolving around the everyday life of Sato Ryota, this fifth grader just can’t seem to stay out of trouble thanks to the likes of his mischief-seeking female classmates. Speaking of misadventures, pillow fights seem to be becoming a bit old school, because if you really want to get your way with someone you better put those ten fingers of yours where they fit best; right underneath the armpits. Which is well executed by Kazumi Aihara and Chika Koizumi when the latter thinks she knows how to one-up her little blonde headed friend in order to make her laugh.
This innocent tickle battle just rejuvenates your spirit as you watch these two little ladies try to get one over on the other. As a result, we’re left with a gorgeous scene, during episode 2, of tender schoolgirl malarkey.
Boy can those fingers really move. Even better, these gals don’t seem to be calling it quits anytime soon. Obsessing over pop idols is as common of an exercise nowadays as eating popcorn at a movie theater. Similarly, much like that supersized bowl of buttery saltiness, becoming too attached to any celebrity isn’t always the healthiest route to head down in life.
So when Kousaku Hata finds out his favorite idol Yuka Kusakabe is turning away from the limelight, he falls into a deep depression that looks to consume his already pitiful life. Forced by his friends back into the real world, Kousaku is hit with an unlikely surprise. Yuka; introducing herself as Ringo Kinoshita, has enrolled into the same class as Kousaku, and presented Kousaku with the opportunity of a lifetime. Lift her spirits up, and let the heavens rain down. Minori’s tickling torture in episode 4 is likened to watching a beautiful vengeance rippling through her skin. She pastes on the face of an individual overwhelmed with joy, all the while dying for a solitary moment of peace as Yuka returns the favor of Minori’s failed attempt to make her smile.
Needless to say, we won’t be letting that happen as we drop our jaws to this mind edging sight of sensual satisfaction. A guilty pleasure indeed, but with a moment like this, we will take our time to thank the gods of technology for crafting a replay button. Much like a spritz of cold water on a hot summer day, watching this apple cinnamon pie delicacy melt away from laughter is too refreshing to only experience once. We urge you all to tune in to this anime right away, and watch this scene again, and again, and again. This next scene from Amagami SS won’t stop short of sending tingles up your spine. Watching these lovely ladies take a dip into a pool of delightful relief, it would only sound right for you to scream out that life is bliss. When Junichi Tachibana has his heart torn apart after being stood up on Christmas eve, things seem bleak for the future of his small world.
That is, until six lovely heroines come pouring into his life. With the lights over his lonely stage back on and brighter than ever, Junichi prepares to put on a performance like never before. Bear in mind It only takes two to tango, so you ladies are going to have to wait in line. Just like that, seduction has been born.
As these beauties twirl their way into episode 13, Rihoko Sakurai seems to have discovered a whole new world of fulfillment. She just can’t seem to get enough of those tiny critters gnawing at her toes as she plunges in full body to see to it that there’s no limits on where these naughty little sea devils can work their magic.
Hearing her giggle will fill the air around you with rose petals and open the gates to nirvana. Rihoko is definitely on to something here my friends. Let this unforgettable scene just soak right on in and take you places you couldn’t even imagine. When life throws you lemons, you churn out a damn good jug of lemonade; but when an angel falls from the sky, you get the makings of a very interesting anime. Tomoki Sakurai; after experiencing dreams of the floating mystery known as the “New World”, has his life turned upside down once an angel falls to Earth and begins referring to him as master.
You would think that being an angel would make the world around you magical, but life is certainly grim when you can’t crack a smile and show off those pearly whites. A grim nightmare that the fallen angel Icarus is more acquainted with than she would ever want to be. So in a fit to set things right in episode 12, her friends look to help stretch her grin in a scene that’ll give all of you a good laugh. However, it isn’t until Tomoki jumps into the picture and gets grubby with Sohara when things really heat up. Less of an actual interest in brightening up Icarus’ day, and more of a slick jump at an opportunity to get his hands a little wet. It may be short lived, but this tickle fest is worth the watch every time.
Now smile for some great anime. This scene will help set the record straight. While some of the best moments mainly involve some sort of sexual innuendo, episode 1 of Hello!
Teaches us that there’s still a lot of fun in the good ol’ school prank. After five years have passed since Shinobu Oomiya last saw her friend Alice Cartelet during her homestay in England, the two girls finally reunite as Alice makes her way over to Japan to experience what life is like on the other side of the globe. Now in season 2, Alice and Shinobu are back at it again.
With the day in and day out mischief these two; alongside Shinobu’s other comrades, have to offer, it was only a matter of time before a priceless tickling scene worked its way into the mix. Watching as Shino takes advantage of Karen during her already nervous wreck sends a whiff of nostalgia surging through you as you think back to how many times you; or one of your friends, would have died for a perfect moment just like this one. There’s a time and place for everything, and when all eyes are on you, expect your tickle sensitivity to be put to the test. Only one person gets to catch the tickles, but everyone is going to get a good laugh out of it for sure.
Look out behind you! These ladies have done it right!
In Isla; the island in the sky, Kal-el Albus hopes to find truth of the ancient mythological story of the “end of the sky”. However, his happy-go-lucky days of jerking around with his schoolmates come to an abrupt end when the sirens of war sound their horns. But what we’re here to talk about is not how to wrap your mind around floating islands and the politics of warfare, but how to focus that mind on our next Honey’s Anime top anime tickle scene. Making its presence known at episode 5, the term ‘body to body’ is visualized in all its fruitfulness when these two bathingsuit babes; Claire and Ariel, find themselves being a bit naughty. With those fingertips itching for something just right, Honey’s Anime urges everyone to sit back and let these girls get down to business.
Water splashing through the air, skin tight suits, and body grinding will have all you boys and girls feeling the tickles where it counts! Jump on top of this lip licking moment right away and watch Ariel make this girl dance! It’s all about the body language, people. All about the body language. Oh what a tease. Just like playing footsies with your elementary school crush, the classic under the table fun just never gets old.
Thanks to season 2 of Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai, we get to see just what that fun is all about. Back for another season, Yuuta Togashi and his one and only love, Rikka Takanashi; who are now living together, tangle with setting straight the strings of life as the comedy packed, romance school life of Chuunibyou sets up for a world of ups and downs. Especially when Satone Shichimiya steps into the picture. Gripping and prickling at someone’s innocence and watching as they fight to remain composure is all you need to satisfy that devilish yearning for something a little naughty. Sanae Dekomori is certainly looking for that gratification in episode 4 as she turns Shinka Nibutani’s knobs one by one, slowly lighting the fire underneath her kettle.
Not to mention that Shinka’s reaction is nothing short of priceless. Fidgeting and a knee to the chin. What great pleasure indeed. Now that was a pleasant surprise. Out of all the ways to get to know someone, this might be one of the most pleasing ones to watch. Little Busters; following the school life of Riki Naoe; Kyousuke, Rin Natsume and the rest of the Little Busters team, is a show dedicated to bonds, friendship and answering life’s questions.
All the while tickling that sweet spot for something pleasant right when you need it. Especially when, well, the tickling starts of course. Luckily enough, you won’t have to wait long before witnessing this greatness as Komari Kamikita puts her naughty fingers to work all over Rin bright and early in the series at episode 2. Bet you didn’t see that one coming. Let’s be honest, perhaps rubbing your hands all over someone you’ve just met might be one hell of a way to barge in on their privacy, but you can’t forget to acknowledge her initiative.
Oh me oh my, does it get any better than this? Being a non-believer of Souma’s capabilities in the kitchen can have its perks in the world of Food Wars! For the viewer that is. When a school only graduates 10 percent of its student roster, a battle for a winning seat embroils and sets the tone for one of the most interesting anime in a long time. That school is Tootsuki Culinary Academy, and the student who won’t stop until he reaches the top goes by the name Souma Yukihira.
Caught up within the school’s famous “food wars”, Souma whips up a few dishes that know how to turn a person inside out, especially when Erina Nakiri is the one tasting the meal. If the beauty of a face wrought with unbearable laughter from the hands of tickling madness can’t hoot your horn, then perhaps a moment topped with the hills and canyons of a voluptuous goddess may help turn your page in episode 2 of Food Wars! This to-die-for lollipop of a beauty, Erina, just couldn’t see the end of her arousal when Souma’s cooked delicacy perked her chest and rained heaven in between her thighs. Instead, her rollercoaster ride had just begun as feather-packing Soma angels came to add the spice to the sauce with their scheming tickling mayhem! A life changing moment that can’t help but make you fantasize about how engaged your mind would be had the white cloth somehow managed to slip off. Now what do we have here?
Half naked beauty – check! Dimmed lights – check! Sensual aura – check! Ticklish – sold! Welcome to Dragonar Academy (Seikoku no Ryuukishi, also known as Seikoku no Dragonar). A world in which dragon riding, simply put, is an actual thing, and beautiful women are not rare. As for Ash Blake, he gets a double scoop when his personal dragon shows up in the form of a young female beauty named Eco; and she’s certainly looking to be one tough cookie to crack.
Now, let’s get down to the funny business. Dragonar Academy may have one of the hottest scenes we’ve come across thus far. No uncanny visual interpretations, no high school pranks gone ecchi, and no slapstick character simply catching the butt end of a joke. Just a calm romantic setting with a little fun thrown into the mix.
Stepping in at episode 4, the presentation will have you salivating from the start, and when Cosette Shelley gets her hands working on Silvia’s flawless frame, this scene will leap over the edge of greatness and into the pool of perfection. Just imagine how those tiny hands must feel dancing around on your skin.
Being ticklish isn’t always a bad thing after all. Dragonar Academy nailed it!
